Tasty Tuesday: Italian Meatballs
Italian Meatball Recipe
Today I thought I would share my recipe for Italian meatballs. These meatballs are fabulous, if I do say so myself. 🙂
Trim Healthy Mamas–You can simply omit the bread crumbs, as I’ve been doing, or sub with baking blend or almond flour.
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground Italian sausage
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 TBSP basil
1 TBSP oregano
1 TBSP garlic powder
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients. It would be best to use your hands to get it all incorporated. Form the mixture into walnut sized balls on a greased baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
You can make a big batch, freeze them on a cookie sheet, then store the frozen meatballs in a ziploc bag for later use. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
I make my meatloaf the same way. Except I add italian bread crumbs and mustard. I would love to see a recipe for meatloaf that may be a little different. I love that your meatballs look a little smaller (this way you get more in each mouthful) What do you pair with spaghetti? We usually do a garlic bread or corn on the cob.
Sometimes garlic bread. Usually I will do some zucchini, and sometimes mushrooms too, sauteed with garlic. DH doesn’t care for salad, but sometimes I have a small one for myself!
yummy, I want to try these, thanks so much for sharing

I always make extra and freeze if I have to. You could always pull them out for another meal. I sometimes use my extra meatballs to make lasagna. It works great – crumble them up in place of cooked ground beef or whatever meat you use.
These meatballs look really good!!! My mom used to make the BEST meatballs ever!!! My family is gonna love these.
yum looks D lish
